Can yall quit saying "trust the staff" it's annoying as fug. Have we ever had any reason to trust any staff we've ever had to this point?

This is such an idiotic comment.  First of all - this is a new coaching staff.  Second -  you act like we’ve never had any success at all and a ton of bad drafts.  This team has quite a bit of talent, both drafted and signed via FA.  I trust that they know more about football than anyone on this board.

Long EDGE and even NFL.com had him pegged as a 3rd-4th rounder.  Not really a reach, just a dude not many looked at, myself included.  6'4 260 4.49, I mean if this mad-dog of a defensive staff likes him, let's see what's up. 

Exactly, imagine having an OLB/DE who actually has prototype measurables and high level athleticism. If the majority of our fans dislike him, it prob means he will be a good player.

Maybe they are thinking they need a run stuffing OLB for Evero’s scheme?  And gonna use Haynes and Barno on passing downs.  
 

Still trying to figure this one out.

Man I really don't like this pick at all its so annoying how we can't hit out the first round like ever

[CamWhoaaCam]

This is a bad pick no way around it.

 

Just reading the scouting report is says he is a project. The problem I have is he is already 25 years old.

 

By the time he's coached up he will be approaching 30. This is just a bad trade up. Washington was there for the taking.smh

No he is not. He is not a high character player and tends to be a hot head with little to no playmaking impact. JAG with potential that only a select few believe they can develop. He should have been a 5th round development player at best.

This FO with FItt is the same. They continue to trade up for developmental players they have no intention of using as impact players and reach with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks for players that will not be key players to win a championship. The Panthers continue to give away draft capital to other teams. Wasted championship level draft capital on QB after QB, and now this waste of draft capital.

So much for the high character BS from the organization.

A first round grade LB in Simpson is on the board and you trade UP to get a 25 year old LB

Yeah well clearly the NFL scouts don’t view him as a first round grade LB lol. You are kinda proving his point.

I’m scratching my head on this pick as well but it’s obvious the 1st round grade is BS. If he really had one he would have been gone long before now.

Looks like a guy who we'll either love in two years or he'll  be off the roster in 2 years.

Like his measurables. Hopefully he'll take to coaching well.

Off the roster in 2 years like every panthers pick outside the first round

This is the pick we traded to the Steelers 

Darnell Washington would have been there for us

How do you guys feel about that?

hehe

[tukafan21]

Ugh, and the Steelers use the pick we traded to get this guy on the player I wanted the most right now

[WOW!!]

("  If the majority of our fans dislike him, it prob means he will be a good player.") Point well taken.
